I wonder how many people will make into (on the edge of) space in our lifetime.

I read somewhere if you had enough VS miles you could redeem on it......

2,000,000 miles IIRC.

Of course all pax have to be suitable - ie fit enough, able to spend the time training for the flight, etc.

One way or return?

[Kiwi]

If you booked return but got invol one-way, perhaps your estate could claim a mileage refund

Worse..... multi-city with stopover....

could claim a mileage refund

and some vouchers for use the next time

[SilverChris]

I wonder, do they train/hire FAs for flights into space or assign Mr astronaut serve the passengers

That isn't a joke, it is true. VS miles (and possibly DJ too?) can be redeemed on Virgin Galactic.

Does anyone here have 2,000,000 VS miles?

It only occurred to me recently that airmiles and hotel points should be included as one's assets.

There's all this talk about girls looking for the 5-6 Cs when they're assessing a man's potential. I didn't realise I was so materialistic (too!) and such a slut until I found myself asking a man I just met if he collects airmiles the other evening!

hmm.. interesting.

When I saw 2,000,000 miles, I thought SQ opened up R redemptions lol.. j/k.

[Kiwi]

Some Qantas any seat award redemptions do cost 2 million points. Terrible value in comparison to the VS Virgin Galactic award.

Sounds like good material for a movie... oh wait...

IIRC the 2,000,000 miles includes Upper Class flights to the spaceport and also acccommodation
